ROWING LUNATICS.
Some Specimens of the Things
Which Poster Society.

Their. are several wandering lunatic'
about the town laboring under various
Authorizations. Perhaps it is rather
hard to define exactly the lunatics. A
lunatic is man who differs sufficiently
vigorously from the general average OF
people to make sensation. Some time
ago in the still and busy night, when
all heads were bent over their work, a
step was heard coming along the lobby
OF the Chronicle editorial rooms. Nobody
looked up. 1t was not so unlike tele-
graph boy. But suddenly a stentorian
voice called out:
You've got to stop it! You've got
to stop itp'
The night editor, without turning,
growled:

have to stop it. God has sent me to
tell you to let those Anarchists alone. ;"

YACHT RACE ARRANGED.
The English Yes sci Thistle to Contest
with an American Vessel.

New YORK, March 29.-The America S cup
committee AMI yacht club met to-day, and
Chairman James d. Smith read a letter from
the Royal Clyde Yacht Club which arrived
on the Etruria yesterday. This contains a
formal challenge to race for the Americas
cup between the yacht Thistle and any
American yacht and names the 4th day of
next October for the commencement of the
match. The communication also stated that
the Thistle has been constructed on the
Clyde. She is cutter rugged and her measure
ments per certified official transcripts from
custom house register which are enclosed are
as 1ollows: Length, per register, 98 feet
breadth, 20 3-l0 feet depth IA 1-lO feet. Jas.
Bell is given as authority to represent the
Royal Clyde Yacht Club in the contest. The
dates OF the series of the three races if the
conditions under which the Galatea aud
Genesta races were sailed are adopted this
year are to be October 4th, 9th and Sth. But
the proposition is made that the series con-
slst OF the best in five races. the other dates
to be the 10th and 18th of October. The
courses sailed in the Galatea match are ac-
ceptable to the Thistle people who agree to
accept George u. Schuyler as umpire whose
decision shall be final on all questions which
may arise on any details in the arrange
ments Tor race requiring adjustment. The
Thistle people also propose that representa-
tlves of each contestant employ patrol
steamer to keep the course clear of obstruc-
tion by excursion boats or cruising yachts.
They also propose that should either yacht
meet with an accident prior to the start in
any of the series of races the time be given
for necessary repairs before the race is start
ed, and that should either yacht be injured
during the race that time be given for repairs
before another race is started. The result of
the committees deliberations was not made
public, but it is known that the proposition
for series of five races was rejected. As
all other propositions by the Thistle people
a:e reasonable they will probably be ac-
cc9pted, thus making the conditions prac-
tlcally as those under which the Galatea
race was sailed. The challenge was officially
accepted by cable on behalf of the New
York Yacht Club.

COMMISSIONER FINK.
What He Has to Say to the Dry Goods
Merchants Committee.

New YORK, March 29,-Commissioner
Fink, chairman of the joint committee of the
trunk lines, yesterday sent communication
to W. l.. Strong, chairman of the dry goods
merchants committee, replying to the trade.
Fink's letter is interpreted by the dry goods
dealers to mean that any concessions they
may desire from the trunk lines will have to
pc fought for. The commissioner says:
line new classification was made necessary
by the interstate commerce law. Heretofore
a number Of clasSifcati0ns have existed
which had to be consolidated in one and
thls work was performed by committee,
representing, not only the trunk lines, but
all the western roads engaged in this traffic.
The committee was aware of the arrange
ments which were made as a matter of ex-
pertinent with the dry goods shippers at
New York, but they could not see how it
was possible to extend the same to all parts
OF the country and this became necessary
under the interstate law. The special agree
ment, which did not prove to be satisfactory
to the railroads and many of the shippers,
was subject to discontinuance upon notice,
as.clearly expressed in the agreement signed
by shippers. Only "a firms in the city of
New York have signed the agreement. Any
change in the new classification will have to
be submitted to the classification committee,
representing all the roads carrying the
goods. The trunk lines have no special con-
troll over the matter, but as chairman of the
Joint committee Icannot promise that the
matter will have immediate attention, as it is
proposed to give the new classification a
trial before any changes can be made.
This letter has called forth the following
comment from the committee: The 84 firms
spoken Of as the only ones signing in this
city represent cotton goods shipped not only
from New York, but from nearly all the 1000
mills in New England and the Middle States.
But under the terms OF agreement shippers
az each point Of shipment, whether city or
village. had to sign separately.

DISSATISFIED SAILORS.
Loud Complaints from the Crew of
the AIva.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The Times says:
The crew Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's palatial steam
yacht Alva do not seem to have had luxu-
rious time on their recent trip to Havana. A
rumor was circulated yesterday that strike
was threatened on the yacht, and a Times re-
porter visited theAlva at her berth at the foot
of West Sixty-fifth street. He was not per-
mitted to go aboard, and the only reply he
could get to note to the officers was state
ment that no trouble existed among the
men.
Members of th5 crew, however, were found
who were ready and anxions to talk about
the voyage. fireman, Chris Haley, said
that after leaving port in February the crew
were not given sqnare meal until Bruins
WICK, Ga, was made, on the return trip.
The mess" he said, was supplied with old
dried beef. Out of eight eggs only two good
ones could be found. On Fridays we had
goldfish with mackerel juice but no mackerel
No underclothes were to be had from the
shop chest, and what clothes we did have
were almost worthless, bought second hand
OF the United States navy. We were worked
sometimes Is hours out of the "a, and were
paid only $40 instead of $50 paid on the 9th
er yachts sailing from New York. To make
sure that we should not be seen on deck the
ladder into the freman's fOrecastle, in the
stern, was removed as soon as we left New
York, and the only way to get on deck was
through the engine shaft alley. In case Of
collision we should have drowned like
rats"
Complaint was also made that the mems
pay was kept back two days later after
reac hing port. Owing to these difficulties Z
OF the firemen, IL of the IS sailors, and a
mess boy left the yocht as soon as New York
was reached. Other members of the crew
corroborated Haley's story and were unani-
nous in the opinion that the mate, Mr..
Cushing, was the only fair man among the
lie M into AsaH 60 LIN
cancies in the Alva's crew at once, though
six men were shipped yesterday.
